I need a little help. How thick are our ZR-1 factory J-55 HD rear rotors ? Seems replacements are really thin. I tossed mine some time ago and have regretted it many times. Calipers do not strike my new rear rotors properly and I believe it may be a thickness issue. :cheers:

They are 12x1.0" I believe. FYI the J55 just relates to the fronts. All 88+ cars had the same rear brakes.
Edit: I don't think that's right. Wilwood's site shows a replacement for the rear as 12 x 0.8"

Thanks for the info. I think .81 might be right. If there is no such thing as a J-55 rear rotor, should be a million of them out there. The ACD I purchased is less than .8 by a margin. I think that is contributing to a bad striking pad on my car. Rear caliper pistons are not long enough to press the pad down fully on the rotor.
